Mahasu Devta Temple, Hanol, Hindu temple in Hanol, India

The Mahasu Devta Temple stands on the eastern bank of the Tons River, featuring a design that combines stone and wood in Kath-Kuni architectural style.

Built in the 9th century, the temple gained recognition from the Archaeological Survey of India as a Monument of National Importance due to its architectural significance.

The temple hosts a three-day Mahasu Devta Fair each August, drawing the Jaunsari tribe who perform traditional music and folk dances during processions.

Located 190 kilometers from Dehradun, the temple can be reached via the Chakrata-Tuini-Mori road, with accommodation available at the GMVN guest house in Hanol.

Visitors participate in the LotaPani ritual where drinking water from a metallic goblet serves as a binding oath for resolving local disputes.
